Legend
The door to the east revealed an empty shrine lit by the light of two braziers.

This room had smooth stone walls, and it ended in a square niche in which stood a human-sized statue of Chauntea, appearing as a matronly woman dressed in robes and flowers and was holding a sheaf of wheat in one arm and a bunch of roses in the other. She stood on an altar carved to look like a rose bush. Before the altar are eight benches, all carved from the natural stone of the ground beneath.

Vile symbols were scrawled in dark red on many of the room's surfaces. The altar was chipped and cracked. On the statue of Chauntea, the infernal sigils were most numerous, defiling her features. The altar was spread with various implements for writing and painting, as well as vessels of various sizes, coins, gems, and jewelry. Just in front of the altar was a wool mattress draped with wolf furs, where presumably the devil-cultist had slept while she was not defacing the goddess.

Dandin took short breaks here and there to stretch and loosen up for the next ritual. On one such occasion, he wandered into the miniature temple and glanced around in consternation. The farmers all around Daggerford worship her and he'd attended a few services himself as part of his business endeavors. He attempted to rub one of the symbols only to make a giant smudge in it's place. These greenskins would pay for defiling their sacred places.

He found a pouch on one of the goblins and gathered all of the wealth from the room into it. This, he decided, would be Chauntea's share. Surely, some of it at the least had been meant for her use already.

Stepping out to go back to work, the halflings eyes were angry and determined.

During the rest Tommi helps where he can. If there's water, he will help Dandin srub away some of the defiling symbols, or other tasks, as he can be helpful.

Legend
Pooling the coin secreted on the persons of all of the goblins, including what could be easily found hidden under their straw matresses, and the coin that scattered when the gambling table was flipped, Dandin and Tommi piled what would later be counted as 428 gold pieces worth of various coins and common precious stones. It was a lot of money for goblin rabble to have on them, and was almost certainly their share of the plunder from sacking the town.

Dandin left a pile of coin at the feet of the statue of Chauntea, after he and Tommi had done their best to remove whatever defacing could be easily cleaned.

OOC: They will receive the Blessing of Chauntea in the form of Inspiration. I always forget to give out inspiration, so here's a good place to remember it.

Legend
The goblins had screeched and grovelled as Angis had done the foul but necessary deed of putting them to death but it did not faze the dwarf. He had seen far worse things in his day than to be sentimental in times such as these.

Averiel had been watching the dark hallway to the west behind the bed-barricade. Tarthegal had checked his son's spell-wound and applied a poultice, then he joined her by covering the bridge-door. They had nothing to report.

The elf-made shoes shaped to Tommi's feet. He had never felt boots that were so comfortable before and they seemed to give him a spring in his step and a flow to his stride. He liked them a lot.

While Titus revived his winged cat and Enseth rebuilt his floating orb, Dandin worked out that the wolf-skin cloak, through some totemic magic, when the hood was pulled up, would turn the wearer into a wolf.

OOC: Okay, so what you have is Boots of Striding & Springing: "While you wear these boots, your walking speed becomes 30 feet, unless your walking speed is higher, and your speed isn't reduced if you are encumbered or wearing heavy armor. In addition, you can jump three times the normal distance, though you can't jump farther than your remaining movement would allow." and Cloak of the Wolf: "While wearing this cloak, you can spend an action to pull the hood up, turning you into a wolf. This feature works like a druid's wild shape, except that its duration lasts two hours before you revert to your true form (you can still end it as a bonus action). The cloak regains the ability to turn you into a wolf each day at dawn.

OOC: Oh, and the electrum brooch is just a nice cloak-holding clasp brooch worth 200 gp. You can take it off and sell it or leave it with the cloak. It looks stylish.
